SOTD Thursday 19 August 2010

Good Morning

Jean - François Laporte's

Parfum d' Habit ( vintage )

Maitre Parfumeur et Gantier

Have I told you about the scent of jasmine? Have I spoken about the smell of the sea? The earth is scented. And I perfume myself to enhance what I am. That's why I can not wear a perfume that bothers me. Perfuming is an instinctive wisdom. And like all art, it requires some knowledge of yourself..."
Clarice Lispector ( 1920-1977) - Perfumes da Terra / Earth Perfumes

On the same vibe with Joe P. -- the holly date every fragrance wearer should know and observe as a public holiday -- August 19. Only I am in Jean Patou L'Heure Attendue, remember Mlle Coco and Jean Patou share a birthday. I tried to tell His Royal Duckness to synchronize in Chanel tomorrow -- he said No, it is Caron, the group voted. I will be in Chanel, my apologies.

The tooth is doing fine -- I guess, it is not with me any longer. A few years ago I had a brilliant idea -- if they get to keep our teeth, we should be paid. Did not work though.

Z., I suggest Dana Chantilly as your SotD for "the day".
E., how in the world did I miss Evangeline Day?
H., I love you too.

I don't own any Caron so I might join you in Chanel tomorrow. It's a while since I've worn any.

Today I'm testing the new Smell of Weather Turning from our gorilla boys. It's a bit odd, but pleasant. Much softer than the usual scent style from Mark and Si. I get a bit of a metallic edge, a lot of coumarin (must be the hay absolute) and there is that minty quality to it too. Not my favourite from the line, but very wearable. I preferred it when the whole room was scented with it at the gallery. My skin makes it a little too sweet.

Unexpected invite will put me in company with old friends and get me a private tour of the Great Lakes Water Institute and School of Freshwater Sciences plus a second treat of visiting an urban aquaponics/fish farm, Sweet Water Organics, which was created inside an old industrial building.

Histoires de Parfums 1826, a wonderful swirl of spice, incense and patchouli surrounding a small white floral heart. I love how the patchouli is done here: dusty-dry, with a bitter-chocolate undertone.

Have a great day, all!

Hello everyone -

I'm in another glorious Rosine...sigh. Poussière de Rose will have to join the others on my Wish-List.

Wolfie - don't you worry about missing anything. You had your tooth to fret about and I'm so glad you have relief! You made up for it anyway (and you made me lol with your dentist anecdote!) so thank you!

Quarry - what fun...good for you! Have a great time!

Y'all have a wonderful day!

Re: SOTD Thursday 19 August 2010

Good Morning All. The SOTD is L'Oocitane's 'CALANQUES' limited edition, introduced this month. This is a lovely scent. I would definitely consider this a unisex fragrance. Some have described it as "Fresh, sunny, and aquatic". Others say,"Woody, aromatic" I would agree that it encompasses both descriptions. Notes include;
Top: Lemon, Mandarin, Lentiska
Middle: Aquatic Accords, Jasmine, Lentiska
Bottom: Whitewoods, Cypress, Benzoin Pine Tree
The only drawback that I've observed is the sillage is pathetically lacking, I will probably purchase the body milk (lotion) for this purpose, only because I really enjoy the frarance.
